Erin R. McCoy is an Associate Professor of English & Interdisciplinary Studies at the University of South Carolina Beaufort. Her book, War Tour: A Cultural History of the Viet Nam War (McFarland, 2022) looks at the Viet Nam War through the lens of history, popular culture (especially music) as well as her own award-funded research in Viet Nam, Laos, Cambodia, and Australia.
She is set to go back to Viet Nam (and Cambodia) on 8 May - 2 June for research on UXO (unexploded ordinance) workers courtesy of a University of South Carolina RISE Award. She lives in Savannah with her husband and their pets. You can find her at mizmccoy.com.
This should prove to be a very interesting presentation.

Maury has certainly been busy getting us great speakers and the one for our November 20th meeting is one you don’t want to miss. We will have Dave Lauderdale, the journalist, visiting us and giving a presentation. This is also a GREAT OPPORTUNITY to invite prospective members to attend and to show them what Sunset Club is all about.
EACH ONE REACH ONE
Are you bringing a guest to Monday’s meeting?? Why doesn’t everyone reach out to a friend (see me for a free 50/50 raffle ticket!) and invite them to dinner? You never know where that next new member will come from.
THANKS RAY!
In the Rotary tradition of service, Ray has stepped up and volunteered to be our Club Champion for the Shelter Box! (See me for a free lottery ticket but don’t tell anyone!!) I’m sure he will keep us more up to date and involved with this important Rotary organization. Thanks Ray for volunteering.
SPEAKER 10/23/23- Mark McCain
Mark McCain is our District’s Shelter Box Ambassador. He spoke about the Shelter box program and all the good that they do around the world providing a place to live to areas of natural disasters and war.
EATS!
